"I have
Tasted success
I've been in love more or less
With a dream that will last me
A lifetime, baby
Other dreams I have lost
But whatever the cost
The parade isn't passing me by
No no no no no, darling
So if the picture I paint
Makes me a sinner or makes me a saint
I won't try, no, not I
To deny it
Oh, I may cry with the past
But it's easier to laugh about it
When I think of my wonderful life
I thank god for my wonderful life
